I got these quilts and shams for a bedroom where I’m trying to do a bit of a nautical them. What do you suggest for valances? I didn’t really see anything I liked online. I can make some, but I’m not sure which direction to go. I think a solid color might be too plain, and I’m not sure about mixing two different patterns.

If you could get a sheet in the blue plaid that would work--or maybe even better, a solid like the blue. or red in the quilt, and a white border on the valance--or white valance with a border in a color from the quilt

I don't know how literal you want your interpretation of nautical to be, but you could use a solid color and add white stars or multi-colored pennants.

Do any of these have any appeal?

There might be something here that would work for valances.

Don't forget to check the local fabric stores. Valances are easy to make even if you don't sew. Just use Steam-a-Seam.

Ocean/nautical fabrics here that might work for your room.
